Time for a change with the wife's daily driver. Out came the 90.5x78 to go in the new '66 and in it's place is a 1776.

She's having problems getting used to the smaller motor. Leaving work, she stalled it getting out of the parking lot. A couple of cops lurking for drunk drivers made some comment to her about handling the power. She tried to explain that it's a smaller engine, but they weren't buying it. She finally had to get out and open the engine lid to prove it to them. Guess they are familiar with her hot rodding it down the main drag when she goes home at night.
